My first email address was one dedicated to our funky little private internet network .It was great ,virtually spam free and a doddle to use.Unfortunately it was in the early days and some sites did not recognise anything that was not Yahoo or MSN. I drifted onto Yahoo answers one day .messed around for a few days then forgot about it.However ,StillNoCouch said he'd been reading my replies,I was funny and did I want to join his Yahoo360 blog.
I did but had to get a Yahoo email address.In the fullness of time,something went wrong with the Redbricks email address ( and everyone is STILL discussing fixing it 8 years later ) and I needed a new one.
Yahoo was out of the question,even with my own spam protection on it,it generated 80 spammings a day .Most of this seemed to come from the blog site and repeated complaints had no effect .
I went back there after 8 years of never using it and it's still quietly accumulating spam all by itself.
So ,I found a new ,no whistles.no bells provider called Graffiti.This was perfect for years then oops ,it was taken over by AOL and plummeted rapidly into a pit. The home page automatically posted a shit-ton of celebrity gossip and lo and behold ,spam started appearing in increasing numbers .Also signing in ,you had to go through two stages which was a total PITA.Once again,I complained and got form letter answers and no result.
Off on the hunt again.I found Care2 which was pretty neat and donated to charity as you used it.Once again ,I was satisfied then 2 weeks ago ,it suffered some sort of attack and no-one can log in.Two fixes have failed to work.
Luckily ,I have an unused ,back up address and have been changing it on all my sites but I fear 10 days of mail may never be recoverable.
So ,does anyone else have these problems or is it just me?
